WOODLAND LORE
(Continued from p»I* two)
skin and make myself a nice belt, or hat band. Taking my hat cord, and the stick I always carry while on such trips, 1 soon had this snake off the ground, with a noose around his neck. Having.no one to help you, it is no easy job to pull, a snake’s fangs so in a case of this kind, I always cut them out with my knife, artd here is how it is done. Hold or lift the snake clear of the ground, with your stick, then take your left hand and grasp the snake -back of the head, not too fight, but tight enough to keep him from getting loose, drop your stick, and taking your knife out of your sheath and insert the blade in the snake’s mouth, and cut forward toward the nose.
The fangs which are located in the upper jaw, lie close together, maybe a quarter of an inch apart, and fold backwards so when the blade of the knife is drawn forward . it will catch behind the fjyigs and cut them off and you are free from danger for a while at least, maybe in a month they will grow back.
I would not advise the amateur to try this, for the snake is bound to wrap his body about your arm, and start singing a mighty pretty tune with his rattlers, and this is no time to turn
